Cable Forum - View Single Post - V+ V+ recordings inaccessible after replacement by Tivo?

Hi All

First post, as have just joined.

I have just received Tivo and installed it, in place of my previous V+ box.

We had a number of recordings still unwatched on the V+ box, which we hoped to see.

Prior to disconnecting the V+ box, I disconnected its white "IN" cable from Virgin, and checked whether I could then still view and play back my recordings. I found that I could.

I then went ahead and installed the Tivo.

When, a few days later, I tried to fire up my old V+ box, purely to play back these already-recorded programmes, it would not even boot up, much less display the menu of recorded programmes for me to select from.

Have I effectively now "lost" these old programmes, locked away on the drive of the V+, but inaccessible?

Any advice or work-arounds welcome.
